A24 did a REALLY good job this year. EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE got the most nominations this year (11 nominations). On top of that, other A24 movies like THE WHALE, AFTERSUN and more got acting nominations as well. THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN tied ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT with 9 nominations each. ALL QUIET is the German-language Best International Feature Film contender from Netflix.

This was a pleasant surprise. Wasn't expecting a reaction to this. This was one of my favorite movies of last year as well as my favorite performance of last year. X is great, too, but is very different from this. Much more of a traditional slasher film. Disappointed that Mia Goth didn't get an Oscar nom, but what can you do? Another year, another great horror movie performance ignored by the academy.

I just finished watching this on Showtime, and wanted to see your reaction. That monologue in the kitchen was fantastic.

Like Kathryn hahn one said. THAT ACCENT REALLY COME AND GOES DOESN IT?

this and X are definitely my favorite Horror from last year along with Smile and Barbarian. Last year was a such a great year for horror fan

Honestly I think you made the right choice watching this one first, and I'd be super interested to see your perspective on X now. I didn't love either film, but I definitely appreciate the filmmaking and the level of nuance in the scripts. I think what spoiled it for me was the fact that I somehow got this idea in my head that Pearl would somehow be this kind of cypher that changes the meaning of X. Because X has this waking nightmare quality to it, reality feels elevated and numbed at the same time. There was weird shit that happened that I thought maybe would be elaborated on in unexpected ways. I probably just had too high hopes, and that's not the fault of either movie (although I still kinda want the third one to do that, ngl) But since you saw this one first, it makes your perspective on the next film very unique and interesting, so I'm game.

Ohh, this is one of my favourite horror movies for sure. I hope you come back to it once you've seen X, it works fine on its own but I think knowing what happens in X adds a lot of layers! (my best attempt not to spoil haha)

I envy you Jess. You will appreciate X more watching Pearl first. You get all the background on what turns Pearl into a killer.

“Who is watching her in this haystack” idk if shes the one u should be scared for, its everyone else u should be scared for 😟

Didn't expect this one to pop up!

u HAVE to watch X... but since u saw Pearl first, you'll have a different perspective...

now you have to watch X!!!

Mark my words, this has all the hallmarks of a future classic. Even though the film makers may not have intended so. I hope we're all around to see that in 20 years.

I watched this movie and like it, but then I watched X afterwards and I actually like X a lot more, I feel this one kinda feels like it has to explain a lot of what happens in X and that kinda undermines this one for me. Still I love Mia's acting and the atmosphere that this movie has. EDIT: that scarecrow looks like it's made with an actual human face

This, X and Till should've gotten oscar nods.

Did you react to the new scream trailer?

Mia Goth was snubbed HAAAAARD of an Oscar nom not only for X but for this especially like its honestly disgusting but you know how Award ceremonies sometimes treat horror movies. BTW hope you react to X soon and I don't know if watching X after Pearl could make a difference on how you feel about both films (I watched X first before Pearl) but I get that it can probably seen as individual films but for me it's always X first then Pearl cuz seeing the things reference in X relate to Pearl will make more sense looking back. Edit: Yes there is a 3rd one coming this year called Maxxxine and Mia said it's the best one so far
